So, Kazuki isn't about to refuse a request from Santa himself, but man, when was the last time he'd actually had a proper battle? Maybe when Ho-oh was going berserk in Ecruteak?
Anyways, his inexperience shows when a level 100 Ampharos that he inherited from someone who had beaten the Elite Four goes around cracking heads like its supposed to, and Kazuki winces at every attack, obviously uncomfortable. There are literal Rattata and Trubbish and such flying through the air, and he's apologizing to the Rockets.
"I'm so sorry, I got him from someone else, he didn't learn that sort of thing from me-- Cotton! Be gentle, okay? I mean... Think like False Swipe! Or like what Xylo is doing!"
Kazuki points over at his Kricketune, who is wrapping up some sleeping Poochyena in a Sticky Web with a very slow and sedate manner. It makes an agreeable violin sound as it is addressed. The Ampharos sighs, and gives Kazuki a really? look while holding back a windmilling Machop with one foot.
Meanwhile, his Primarina, who is also level 100, just stands by and yawns. He's a performer, okay? If he gets in a fight, he'll ruin his mane! And then his Altaria is taking on opponents by giving them big fluffy hugs and then sitting on them like a brooding hen. Kazuki's got a full-on comedy routine going on here...
This is more in his wheelhouse:
Here, this is much more like our boy. Kazuki found a hot chocolate stand, helped the owner shoo the Rockets away, and set everything back up. Now he's handing out free cocoa to anyone who wants some, with his Ribombee and Chimecho floating along after him. He's got a first-aid kit with him too!
"Hot chocolate?" He'll press a cup into any willing hand! "If you or your Pokemon need some fixing up, I've got a kit here, and these two can both use healing moves. Can I help you out at all?"
